The second of two suspects was arrested Wednesday morning in the shooting death of a taco vendor during an attempted robbery earlier this month in northwest Harris County.

Adrian Gomez was taken into custody about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday about 100 miles north of Houston in Madisonville, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. He is expected to be transferred to the Harris County jail.

Deputies said Gomez was one of two men wanted for the capital murder of 53-year-old Lorenzo Juan Vasquez about 3:30 p.m. Oct.12 at a mobile taqueria parked at 8110 Fairbanks North Houston near Breen.

A Madisonville police officer spotted Gomez sitting outside a closed business. He ran a background check on him and discovered he was wanted in Harris County in connection with the slaying.

Deputies said the other suspect, John Ray Aycock, was arrested on Oct. 21 by members of the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders and Fugitives Task Force. He is being held in the Harris County jail without bond.

According to a complaint filed in the case, Vasquez struggled with Gomez during an attempted robbery at the taco truck. Gomez shot him in the head.

Deputies said Aycock told them he was a lookout on the night of the slaying and Gomez was the triggerman. He said he placed an order at the truck window while Gomez climbed inside.

Deputies said Aycock also told investigators shooting Vasquez was not "part of the plan" for the robbery.

No money was stolen.

Deputies said Aycock admitted to helping Gomez rob another vending truck in the area four hours before the Vasquez shooting. Both men could be seen in a surveillance video from the earlier robbery.

Vasquez and his wife had owned the mobile taqueria for about a year. They had hoped to one day open a Mexican/El Salvadoran restaurant. She was in the truck with her husband when he was shot but she was not injured.
